He was a pioneer in the study of the human unconscious and the impact of sexual desire on human behavior, and his 1900 work *The Interpretation of Dreams* is arguably one of the greatest treatises on psychology ever written. But Freud recognized that it was not an easy tome to digest, and prepared this shorter, more accessible version.
First published in 1914, *On Dreams* is a highly readable introduction to Freud's theories on one of the most mysterious aspects of the human mind. He discusses:
¿ the meaning of dreams
¿ the mechanisms of dreams
¿ dreams as the realization of unfulfilled desires
¿ dreams and repression
¿ three classes of dreams
¿ dream symbolism
¿ and more.
Austrian psychiatrist SIGMUND FREUD (1856-1939) developed psychoanalysis-dialogue between doctor and patient-as a tool for understanding and curing psychopathologies. While some of his ideas have been supplanted by subsequent research and refinement, his work continues to profoundly influence the sciences and the humanities alike.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Sigmund Freud, an Austrian neurologist who lived from 6 May 1856 to 23 September 1939, founded psychoanalysis, a therapeutic approach that involves a patient and a psychoanalyst in a conversation to assess and treat psychiatric diseases. At Vienna General Hospital, Lucian Freud started his medical training in 1882 and began researching the effects of medications on the human body. His study of brain anatomy resulted in the publishing of a significant paper on cocaine's painkilling properties in 1884. His first work, On Aphasia: A Critical Study, was based on research on aphasia and was released in 1891. Freud left his hospital position in 1886 and started a private clinic where he focused on "nervous disorders." In that same year, he wed Martha Bernays, a descendant of Hamburg's head rabbi Isaac Bernays. In his mouth, Freud had a leukoplakia in 1923, a benign growth connected to excessive smoking. He was encouraged to stop smoking by dermatologist Maximilian Steiner, who lied about the significance of the development. By the middle of September 1939, Freud was suffering from jaw cancer, which was making his agony worse. Max Schur persuaded Anna Freud that keeping him alive was futile. On the morning of September 23, 1939, at about three in the morning, he gave Freud dosages of morphine that caused his death.
